Fill This House With Your Glory - Part 1 (3 of 6)
Series: The Glory Of God

2 Samuel 7:1-7
How many of you own a house? How many of you built your own house? We want to build a house for the glory of the Lord right here in Chesterfield, and we want to follow God's plan and God's pattern for doing so.
David, the man after God's own heart had a burden to build God a house where his presence could dwell. As the children of Israel were sojourning, the ark of the covenant would be with them in tents and tabernacles, but one day David had a realization - that he was dwelling in a house made of cedar, but there was no house for God. So David sets out to build God a house.

''
Later on in this same chapter, God tells David, I am going to build YOU a house David! It is amazing that when we care about God's house, that our house will be taken care of too.
In the book of Chronicles, God had told David that Solomon would be the one that would build the temple.
1 Chronicles 22:5 Now David said, ''Solomon my son is ...
